Sorry to here that, have you requested GCMS and applied on that basis ? are you applying your self or consultant?

 

[GR19]

Had applied for GCMS notes, had addressed all the comments they had mentioned.
I had applied it myself.

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/ section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

 

[GR19]

Could someone please help me understand why the below reason has been stated for refusal every single time?

• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application

PFB the purpose I had specified:
I will be visiting my Son who is on Work Permit in Calgary along with my wife for a short visit of 3 weeks. Our travel dates will be from August 2nd 2023 till August 22nd 2023. In this period, we are looking forward to spend time with our son whom we haven't visited for a long time and will be visiting the tourist spots in Calgary like Banff and Jasper.

Honestly what I have seen that it all depends on visa officer who’s handling your application. Some are very lenient that no ties matter and some are very strict that even if you all the required documentation, they reject.
One thing you can do is show that they are spending money on themselves during their visit and not you.As in your case, your sister is not dependent as she is already married and she is not considered as a strong tie for your parents.
I would also suggest take advice from an immigration lawyer, to better understand your situation and represent it appropriately. I wish you luck.

I just hope that my documents were reviewed, cause I don't think they would have rejected it so soon.
Eligibility started in the morning and rejected by noon.
Yeah you are right, looks like a Lawyer is my one and only option now.
Thank you.

Yes, you can always go with reconsideration as lawyer can help you out with that stuff.
Approval or rejection, it doesn’t matter they usually take a day or couple weeks, again IRCC is hard to understand.

correct, I have given up trying to understand whats really expected of me.
Seems more like a game of luck now.

Its too expensive to approach a lawyer for reconsideration, so I dont have that option.

I am talking about immigration lawyer who are qualified RCIC, I am not talking about going through judicial as it’s way too expensive, I know.
Google those RCIC’s and contact them, I had seen them on social media, they helped many people through reconsiderations.
